Manhwa vs novel changes (please just read the novel) TLDR; andi gave the radio not corbyn, there were erased side characters, sixx doesn’t get kidnapped, corbyn was actually nice before I swear
It’s not as bad as last chapter but there are still some significant changes. I will thank the manhwa for making sixx fine as hell, Godspeed. BUT we did lose a scene where sixx wakes up shirtless so :/
1) Corbyn was NOT the one who gave the radio back to sixx. It was andi. Which sucks bc it gives sixx a closer relationship with andi and a reason for him to try and help out her hospital bills. It wasn’t mentioned in the manhwa (but again what is) but andi actually got better after they ran away, but she relapsed back into her sickness, and this time it was definite. That’s what made corbyn start dealing drugs. We wouldn’t need to change this scene in order to better establish corbyn’s character IF THEY JUST FOLLOWED THE NOVEL AND INCLUDED THE REVOLT SCENE. BC CORBYN WAS AN INCREDIBLY BIG PART OF THAT. We also lose the extreme personality change due to his desperation bc he is not an asshole like in the manhwa hes pretty sweet but changed due to stressful circumstances poor baby.
2) A character has been erased: Milo. A neighbor of letica, he a pretty helpful guy but not that plot important. What is important is how he set up the Mafia surrounding Chicago. Not literally but told sixx a bunch of stuff about them and how they’re dangerous. It is what corbyn struck a deal with in order to sell drugs on their turf and the whole reason SPOILER ALERT he disappears where sixx has to find him which leads to the biggest change.
3) Sixx did not get kidnapped. How in the world would he get kidnapped this manhwa is making him look incompetent he’s a wolf he’s not gonna wonder about someone following him with his accelerated senses? Please. Anyways, sixx actually goes and finds corbyn after he and him fight and then he’s gone for three days which deeply concerns him. Sixx goes and finds out through Milo who the boss of the area might be and goes to confront him. He tells six that corbyn has gone to this “party” and he can go to “pick him up”. Six is not stupid and knows that it’s most likely a trap but he really doesn’t have any choice does he, so he goes. Would that take more set up time and establishing the world more? Yes. Does this manhwa just want to finish at breakneck speed? Also yes. Unfortunately for everyone, no one wins bc it creates a shitty adaptation.
The ONLY reason I can see them doing this in order to minimize the side characters and their involvement is because they are pretty useless after this certain arc. My biggest gripe with the novel is how they essentially are ignored for most of the novel and how much sixx doesn’t rlly think of them. SPOILERS he reunited with Malone (shocker) and he’s happy to see him but it rlly does t excuse just how LITTLE the thinks about his supposed family. It’s mentioned here or there but they don’t rlly pop up after that other than small mentions until near the middle end which is unfortunate bc I actually liked them. Other than that though, not including them and their moments still suck bc they were 1) very cute 2) established the world more 3) feel like they have little connection to sixx and make them seem kinda flat bc we don’t know them much (poor letica you have so much lore they didn’t cover )
Anyways read the novel.
